Does anyone have experience using a '57 Fender Custom Deluxe amp tweed (reissue)? I'm just wondering how it would sound with a lap steel. I also use a Fender Stratocaster, so I'd need the amp to sound ...

500Megohms refers to the resistance value of the potentiometer. It is important to have the right value that provides a full range of volume control. If the resistance is too large it could cause the ...

Andy,
What is an audio taper control? Is it something commercially available, or does one need to have it custom built for this purpose? Thanks.

When I watched Jerry Byrd playing it, it literally brought tears to my eyes. Surely no human can play like that. His talent was truly heaven sent. How did he do that "chime/ethereal" effect ...

Jerry Byrd has a great version of "Sand" on You Tube. It was recorded in 1990 at the local station in Honolulu. Absolutely fantastic playing.

Can anyone tell me with certainty what tuning the song "Sand" is typically played in on an 8-string? I once heard that the tuning was B11, but i would like to know for sure. Can the song be ...

What can you tell me about the D-8? Age, finish, tone, asking price...would love to see even a quick pic.

Tommy, do you you by chance have a Stringmaster T8 you'd be willing to sell? I'm not in the market at the moment, but sometime this year I may have the money to buy one. Just checking. It sounds like ...

But it is true that certain guitars have an exceptional tone that enhances the playing experience.

I just saw that there is a fairly nice looking 1971 Stringmaster D8 available from Austin Vintage Instruments. Only trouble is, it is pricey at $2,450. They are asking too much, but if money is not an ...

Wayne,
I am sending you a detailed email, indicating my preferences for the new instrument.

Is this guitar still available? It was posted April 1st, but I just thought I'd ask. This one you have looks beautiful, and if it sounds as great as it looks, I am interested.

Bill, that's great. Best of luck to you. Glad it all worked out.

Anybody care to weigh in on the sound of a Nashville 400 vs. a Fender Blues Junior III? Just curious. (Using a Rickenbacher Electro lap.)

Bill, did your trade/sale go through?

Bill,
We should exchange email addresses so we can iron out some of the details of this sale -- if we can agree on terms, etc.

Hi Bill,
What tunings do you have on there now (front and back)? Is the guitar still available? Will you accept a cashier's check? How much do you estimate shipping to New Mexico will be?

Dusty Strings Acoustic Music Shop in Seattle, Washington had a nice vintage Martin tenor on consignment recently. It may still be there. If you're interested in contacting them the telephone number ...

Bump to Top

Interestingly, I just learned that Fender does not officially issue decals or logos. Apparently they do not want them placed on unauthorized equipment.

I recently refurbished a 1958 Fender 400 pedal steel and would like to put a Fender logo on it. It could even be a decal, and wouldn't have to be exact as long as it was in the general 1950s or early ...

This package is spoken for pending payment.

Brody, please check your mail. I've sent some pics of the Fessenden. Mark

Hey Brody, I'm from Minnesota, too. Born and raised in Bloomington just south of Minneapolis. Where are you now?

Mark Leonard

The Fessenden and the Peavy Nashville 1000 are both this year's model, 2006. I'll send photos later this evening. Thanks.
